That did not work. In the CAS case, it was a task in CAS that held the catalog and not something that WLM could apply the ERV to. The same within USS. Kees. Staller, Allan allan.stal...@kbmg.com wrote in message news:45e5f2f45d7878458ee5ca679697335502e25...@usdaexch01.kbm1.loc... That is why

That is why IBM created the ERV parameter in SYS1.PARMLIB(IEAOPTxx). This defines a period of time at for which the address space may not be swapped to allow Enques, locks, etc. to be released snip ...snippage A second reason was that in several occasions we saw the system allow itself to be

WLM Capping

2012-02-07 Thread Gibney, Dave
I apologize for asking what is likely a basic performance question. It's been about four years since we went from underpowered to having plenty and I was frying other fish. How can I determine from SMF when we were being capped by WLM. I have the cap set at 16 MSU. We are preparing to run
